Ratskeller & Augustiner Beer Halls @ Munich

Roaming the beer halls of Munich: With a history that reputedly dates back to the 19th century, the intricately decorated cellar restaurant of Ratskeller is a popular stop at central Marienplatz square. Specialities include sauerbraten, the classic pot roast marinated in vinegar & red wine with apples, celery & juniper berries, partnered with potato dumplings, pretzels & red cabbage.

Bavarian minced veal lung stew & liver dumpling soup might neither look nor sound exceptionally appetising, but this is gasthaus grub at its tastiest - not a feast for the eyes, but a treat for the taste buds. Down with beer & elderberry brandy.
